And in the dark he sits alone
To watch his final hours bleeding
While unconcerned upon the wall, the clock
It ticks away the time
No need for words, for in the dark
All words have long since lost their meaning
Still when they whisper in his ear
He tries to read between the lines

What I see in the night, what I feel in your heart
All your dreams, all your lies
Can you tell them apart?
See the hands on the clock; are you watching them turn?
For your candle's quite low
We've been watching it burn

Do you lie here awake as the shadows look on?
Should they cry for your sake
Should you sleep in their arms?
For the shadows see all, and they rarely forget
Every dream that you've had
Every act you regret
